      The submission title of “earning trust” is fucking hilarious but it speaks to your question. Trump has appeared before an audience of Bitcoin enthusiasts in recent days. He’s apparently open to reaching out to crowds that aren’t his core MAGA audience at this particular moment.

      Knowing as we do now that this event went to shit for him, it’s easy to look back and say it wasn’t strategic for him to do it, but for the campaign manager planning the event, it was probably an easier call than letting him debate Joe Biden was, and he [will be perceived as having] “nailed that,” right?

        He doesn’t need to prepare answers when he has a generic template for everything. “I’m the best at [blank]”. He even changed it up a little this time with “. . . since [historical figure]”.

        Now accept that answer at face value and you, too, can be a standard Republican voter.

      Because he’s delusional and they knew he would put his foot in his mouth and double down on his racism
